The objective of this paper is to measure the efficiency of high schools in Tunisia. We use a statistical Data … Envelopment Analysis (DEA)-bootstrap approach with quasi-fixed inputs to estimate the precision of our measure. To do so, we … we can implement both smooth homogeneous and heterogeneous bootstrap methods. Bootstrap simulations were used to estimate …
